Kedarnath Temple

Rudraprayag, UttarakhandFeatured

A Himalayan Jyotirlinga set at 3,580 metres against the Garhwal peaks, among the most arduous and revered of all Shaiva pilgrimages. Re-established by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century, it forms a key node of both the twelve Jyotirlingas and the Chota Char Dham circuit. The shrine closes through the deep winter and reopens each spring with great ceremony.
